Abbott to challenge national health care bill

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has announced that he will join other states in filing a legal challenge to the federal health care bill approved by the U.S. House. His statement:

“The federal health care legislation passed tonight violates the United States Constitution and unconstitutionally infringes upon Texans’ individual liberties. To protect all Texans’ constitutional rights, preserve the constitutional framework intended by our nation’s founders, and defend our state from further infringement by the federal government, the State of Texas and other states will legally challenge the federal health care legislation.”
